I think it's both coach and players. Some one must be telling them to stand down. There is no way they can have so many PETA supports on one team. This 'get them with the power play' mantra is pure beta cowardice.

The power play that is at 13.2% since Jan 1st.

It means nothing though because TB has a PP of 5% in the same time and they are 14-2-1

TG has the team trying to give up less goals and it's just caused the other teams to have the puck more.

Reality is we are 1st in division. I don’t ride the hysteria roller coaster. 26 games to go.

Not that you’re wrong, but you realize 1st in the Pacific isn’t even top 3 in any other division right?

They are perfect in every which way vintsy

lol don't worry I'll remind you when the Flames are out 1st or second round.
- LordHumungous

You truly are an oilers fan hey lol

That's why I dont criticize lefty for wanting skilled players that also have snarl (wilson, kane, jamie benn, etc). They are a rare commodity these days. You're either an energy guy who can barely play or you're a skilled player and cant hit or fight lol.
- Codes1087

I mean, is anyone saying they don't want skilled players with snarl? I don't think people want to give up assets for them at this point, but everyone wants those players. Like you said, the problem is is that they're rare. JTM has some snarl, and hopefully Pod will when he arrives... Jake should have more, but his brain is set on coke and girls.

Having the puck and making other teams chase you around causes them to take penalties and before you could punish them on the PP.

Players need to stand up for themselves.

Other team's pressuring the players more with less time and space they aren't making plays, just getting rid of the puck.

Maybe.

in October I had

VGK CGY EDM at 1-2-3 then after that it's tough. Maybe ARZ or WPG. NSH is surging too even though the OIL beat them

Players need to be playing above their weight when needed. Motte is the smallest player on the Canucks but goes out there and gives it his all.

Truly, you only need to worry about your division, as far as making the playoffs etc. but I feel like there’s an old saying somewhere, and it has something to do with a paper tiger, or a straw man, or a wet noodle...

Hes literally on bath salts, all joking aside

Critisizing them also doesnt mean were panicking. Wanting more or improvement doesnt make us bitter or whiners. They have exceeded expectations but are still a very flawed team

To be fair, I see more people comment on his poop than I do read his original stuff, but man is he hard to ignore sometimes

They are still going to make the playoffs this year, so at least when they miss next year it won’t be a lottery pick they have to give up.

Everything will be alright.
Schaller 26 games
Sutter 108 games
Loui 190 games

Team is in fine shape with all this backbone left on the team.

Also, did anyone see Bo smash his stick after the empty net goal and say something to/about Loui?

You're too advanced.. They are in first.

Team only had to exceed most fans expectations and everything is fine then.

Is TG stealth tanking?

I'm super happy with how they have done in the standings. I love hughes, petey, miller, supporting cast, podkolzin and hoglander and madden, lots and lots of positives, but there is much work to be done

How are the kids?

Both sick with a bad bug. Awful timing as my wife convinced me after 9 months to get a puppy. No rest for the wicked I guess

I meant everyone not you. I never read his stuff so I have very few issues. Problem solved.

A Beagle?

I've been lucky neither kid has had more than a runny nose for a day or two this winter.
